Transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions in large-Nc QCD

Abstract

The transverse-momentum dependent quark distributions are studied in the limit of the large number of colors Nc. The leading orders of Nc are determined for all twist-2 distributions including the T-odd functions. The isospin structure of the dominant contributions is found.
